Sopa de Lima
Yucatec lime soup: chicken broth with shredded chicken, tomato, onion, allspice, oregano, and the distinctive lima agria (sour Mexican lime, with a more bitter-floral character than Persian lime), served with tortilla strips, avocado slices, and habanero-pickled onion. The signature is the Mexican lime's particular bitter-floral depth (when available): quite different from regular lime, set against the gentle chicken broth and the warm-spice register from allspice and oregano.
